As quoted from the thread u followed:
"If all you need is a rooted Galaxy S2 (without ClockworkMod Recovery), you can use this method"
So there will be no CWM recovery...

Did u flash CWM recovery from ROM Manager? If not, u still have stock recovery!
Stock recovery can only flash zips on the external sd card, not internal sd.

I would advise against using ROM Manager to flash CWM as many people have reported problems using it..

THX 4 help.....
ok it looks like I at least didnt damage anything.
So, now im rooted like this method........but I heared about this problems with CWM too. So I try to read more and make it with ODIN
Can you perhaps point me on a good tut 4 for flashing with Odin if root is already there ?
There are so many tutorials and I find it kind of confusing which to follow.
best regards
EDIT: I did do something from CWM......it asked me for my model and I chose I9100. But in the list it was also Galaxy S2, so I was unsure. Then it did something. Did he perhaps flash the wrong revocerymanager and get me problems then going on now flashing with Odin ?
then I booted in the recovery I had the stock-options only

This is if your model if is GT I9100 (not GT I9100g)
Upgrade with pc odin to a newer original samsung firmware (ics or jb) from here

He can just flash siyahs2-v.2.6.14 straight with odin from GB, to get rooted and cwm.

HI
my counter is on 3 now....is this a problem, as I dont have warranty any more anyway ?

Re: [Q] Help im to stupid to flash a costum rom
No, its not a problem, even if you did have warranty.The binary counter and yellow triangle show samsung that something had been flashed to phone, so they can refuse your warranty.
But before you would send it back for warranty, you would remove the signs of flashing.If you cant (like mb bricked); then samsung cant see what you have done.
Anyway, if you were on ICS, you can use triangle away app, and use a jig for GB.And flashing by recovery doesnt add the binary counter, that is why the other chap is recommending that.
You dont need to worry now, but the jig is also handy for booting phone into download mode.....like if your home button is faulty.

OK thx,
I'm going to flash a german Stock ROM (I9100XWLQ2) now. And after that I study this thread to flash Philz-cwm6 kernel. From there it should be easy to try customROMs like I want.
Thx for the tip with siyah but I think i go this way, because if i manage this I can help a friend to do this too, and he has a newer ROM

Re: [Q] Help im to stupid to flash a costum rom
You can use the method you think whats best for you.
But you should be aware of this;
1.before you do anything make sure you have Odin/drivers installed on your pc in case you need it fast.
2.when you get cwm, do a nand backup and make efs backup.
3.read some guides and have a quick look through the titles in this forum and youll see what goes wrong when you start flashing etc.....LOL

I chose to update to ICS first, then root and CWM after that...
So, even after a number of flashes of custom roms and kernels, my counter still rests at 0.

HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY !!!
